Although it is sad to see him go, it is also a win win. He gets to see another club and how they operate, and we have to replace him with fresh coach, fresh ideas.

Re: Assistant coaches merry go round
I wonder if we get in someone with substantial experience from elsewhere rather than reinstating somebody who unfortunately lost their job last month.
TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

Re: Assistant coaches merry go round
Excellent.
Hopefully we get someone who is going to be a strong voice and find some improvement across the group now.

Re: Assistant coaches merry go round
I wouldn't be surprised if we bring back a coach that was let go due to COVID (Corey or Russell).
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Although going to The Bummers might see Gia influence Dunks to go.

I would suggest that's a long bow to draw
He would be closer to Bont than Gia.

Don't know if it is that long G. Not saying it will work. But Gia has a new employer now. We've seen it with Bevo bringing a few Hawks players in where he was an asst coach. Bevo was also close to Clokey from his time at Collingwood.

Re: Assistant coaches merry go round
Considering he is so popular with the players franked by his recent award, do Essendon see him as a conduit between a disillusioned player group and the coaches?

I am expecting this. We really need to take this opportunity to freshen up the group, but i think loyalty will win out based om our track record.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Maybe. I'm not convinced that Corey or Russell would automatically accept. A bit awkward perhaps knowing that when push came to shove and staff had to go, they were the one's identified as most expendable.

Until this year Gia has been the VFL coach and Dunks doesn't play in the VFL. The more likely scenario to me is that they might not be as close as some might think.

I reckon Russell would see coaching the VFL team a great opportunity.
More of an In Bruges guy?

There's a hierarchy in everything. I think they'd be pretty understanding of it and appreciative of an offer to come back.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: Assistant coaches merry go round
No idea how good Russell is or isn't, but it's disappointing we didn't even survey the rest of the field.
We really need some fresh ideas and voices.
